No never ever heard of China Drum definitely covered by 60ft Dolls- probably not officially released as i heard it on the evening session.

 

Is it cheating if I have at no. 32

 

Mott The Hoople - All The Young Dudes

[EFM's Librarian]

"Next up was Can't Stop These Things, with a chucklesome cover version of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights which kept radio producers happy for weeks" taken from the China drum website. This was about the same time as 60ft dolls were around. I can't prove the 60ft dolls didn't do a version of it, but they were of a similar musical style to China drum.

When I saw The Charlatans at Finsbury Park last year, they came on stage to a mix of "The Only One I Know" and Michael Jackson's "Bad", and it was quality!!
